What did we decide here? I thought the decision was to patch both libadwaita and gtk3 to just not show the links - i.e. no appstream-data changes needed – which would be worthless, as the app is either bundling the data or loading the metainfo.xml source file.

For that, I proposed we port the apps we can to AdwAboutDialog, which can load those from the appdata file.

I wish it's a file, but it is from the resource, something bundled in the executable. It's too late for the appstream-data package changes (the direction is opposite, app provides appstream data, appstream-data package gets it from the build package and gathers it together).

For that, I proposed we port the apps we can to AdwAboutDialog, which can load those from the appdata file. This way patching appstream would solve both.

See https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/1.6/ctor.AboutDialog.new_from_appdata.html

I already ported Nautilus and Settings to this, and I see that a couple of other core apps alreadty do that. If this is desired, we could try porting more apps.

A bit more discussion can be found at https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-22271 , even that one is for RHEL 9, not 10.

The idea is that the appstream-data should either change the bug tracker link to the RHEL bugzilla or remove them completely. That way any app consuming the appstream-data data will not provide upstream bugzilla links for apps provided by Red Hat.
